Top Guns: The Four Teams Aiming for the Title at PGL Wallachia Season 7
Every event has a few teams you circle before the first match begins. At PGL Wallachia Season 7 those circles aren’t hard to draw.
Team Liquid have finally turned potential into results. Tundra just proved they’re the most consistent force in the room. Falcons remain world champions, even if the results since TI haven’t fully backed it up. And Aurora are no longer knocking on the door—they’re trying to kick it in.
If you’re looking for the most likely winner, the conversation starts here.
Team Liquid: Cleared for takeoff
When Insania left, he didn’t just vacate a slot, he left a structural gap. More than a decade of synergy with Micke walked out the door with him.
Tofu stepping into the captain role wasn’t just a title change. It meant shifting lanes, shifting responsibilities, and breaking up another long-standing partnership with Ace. With two established duos suddenly split, Liquid weren’t just adjusting roles, they were redefining their identity.
That kind of internal reshuffling takes time.
BLAST Slam suggested that the pieces are starting to click. It didn’t look like a dramatic overhaul. It looked like a team finally settling into itself. It’s not flawless yet, but this is what it looks like when a talented roster starts becoming what was expected of it.
Tundra: Cruising at altitude
Tundra don’t need narrative support. They just won DreamLeague. But their season hasn’t been a straight line.
For stretches, Tundra have looked untouchable. When they’re in form, they make elite teams look ordinary. It feels less like they’re reacting to the game and more like they’re dictating how it unfolds. And then there are the other days and events where the same roster that can suffocate an opponent suddenly looks and is beatable.
That’s what makes them fascinating heading into Wallachia. Their ceiling is terrifying but they aren't invincible.
DreamLeague reminded everyone what their peak looks like. The question isn’t whether Tundra are capable of winning Wallachia. It’s whether the dominant version shows up for the entire event.
Falcons: Potential turbulence ahead
Falcons carry the heaviest label in the event: TI winners.
That title doesn’t fade, but it does raise the bar. After lifting the Aegis, they looked ready to dominate. A first-place finish. Then second. Then third. They were consistently deep in events and firmly in control of their trajectory. Then the slide began. Seventh to eighth. Fifth to sixth. Another fifth most recently. Still competitive and dangerous, but just no longer dictating the pace of the scene the way champions are expected to, or they did last year.
Now Wallachia adds another variable. Malr1ne will miss the event due to visa issues, with Lorenof stepping in. But it doesn't end there. It's unclear if ATF can make it given the fact that he is from Jordan and most airports in the Middle East are curently closed. That shift introduces new questions. Not just “Are Falcons still elite?” but “How adaptable can they be?"
Aurora: The steady ascent
Aurora’s rise hasn’t been a fluke run or one-off upset. It’s been gradual and consistent.
They dominated Division 2 of DreamLeague. Then they held their own at the main event. They’ve added layers to their drafting and look more comfortable against top-tier opposition every event.
The biggest change is confidence. They don’t look like a team hoping to upset someone anymore. They look like a team expecting to win. And they have the momentum and potential to do so.
PGL Wallachia Season 7
PGL Wallachia Season 7 brings together a stacked field. With the competitive calendar tightening and TI invites looming, every result carries weight.
For Liquid, it’s about proving they finally have found their space again. For Tundra, it’s about reinforcing dominance. For Falcons, it’s about navigating disruption and reasserting themselves. For Aurora, it’s about crossing the final threshold.
If one of these four wins, no one will be surprised.
PGL Wallachia Season 7 takes place March 7–15th at the PGL Studios in Bucharest, Romania. A total of 16 teams will battle on LAN for their share of the $1,000,000 prize pool.
